I met Ania and Vince two weeks before their wedding at the grand tasting of The Public Landing.  Little did I know that the couple actually started planning the entire wedding just one week before.  You would have never guessed that after seeing the perfectly fitted dress, amazing decor from Tecza Flowers, and well organized schedule of PhotoboothDJ.com.  Their priority for them was very clear.  Ania and Vince wanted a low key event that focused on spending time with their friends and family.  The wedding was entirely planned around that goal.  I love how DJ Mark SKorusa incorporated personalized polish culture into the night.  With a teary eyed bride, adorable moments between the couple with their daughter, and delicious food from The Public Landing, the night could not gone any better if it was planned a year in advance.  I felt so grateful to have witness their union and be there to capture a very emotional ceremony.  
 

It was such a pleasure to witness the joining of families of Ted and Heather.  There are endless smiles and hugs whenever I scan the room.  Some of my favorite images are of Heather and her daughter.  I especially love the one where they shared an intimate knowing hug at the end of the night.  That moment made me dream of a vow renewal in the future that I can share with my own daughter one day. 

The last time I photographed a wedding at The Public Landing was during the hottest day of the summer with vibrant green trees.  So I was re-inspired all over again with the softer colors of winter at this historic wedding venue.  We discovered a brick wall filled with ivy branches plus a rusted ladder in the back alley of the building.  The ladder provided the perfect location for Heather to step up and have her very pale pinkish peach gown cascade down perfectly.  Also my partner DJ Randy of Affordable Soundz DJ Service came with the most amazing new lights!  They provide unbelievable back light to the dancers with every changing colors and patterns.  Please scroll down the blog to see the awesome effects of the DJ lights.  

The muted colors of winter provide a romantic backdrop to a cozy blanket engagement session.  What's more heart warming than being wrapped up in the arms of the love of your life?  The advantage of Rosy Lens is that we have 2 studios including a natural light lifestyle studio plus gorgeous outdoor scenery on our 2 acres of land.  We can easily step inside to warm up then come back outside for more outdoor shots.  This provides couples with a great variety of photos to select from. I definitely had a hard time picking out the pictures to blog from this session.  These two are spot on with the emotion and posing.  I feel so lucky to encounter such amazing couples.
